Incarnation Series: Part 2

Today’s post for this series comes from my friend Kyle Keene. He’s a great guy, and one whom I would like to push to write for these sorts of series more often than just this. You can check out his blog, but be warned that there is not much content there right now. Maybe if we all check it he will feel pressured to update it. Or he’ll ignore us. One way or the other, I am extremely grateful for his post. It was Kyle’s posts on his facebook account that actually inspired me to write this series (or, as it is turning out, have it written by others). I have much appreciation, and there is a lot to glean from his post. Enjoy.

Incarnation Series: Part 1

I wanted to run a series on the Incarnation leading up to Christmas Day, but last week got away from me. I decided that spending time with my family and friends would take precedence over posting this series. This series will go this whole week, though, with guest posts today and tomorrow. I will write on Wednesday and on Thursday we will have a poem by a first time contributor. I’m excited, and I think you all should be as well.

Guest Post: The Government is in Education

Continuing the guest series on Education (which started quite awhile ago, just click on the category ‘Guest Posts’ to see all of the previous guest entries), a fellow blogger of mine over at Push of Pikes enters into the arena. Nathan Bennet is a man who always has two boxing gloves up, but seems to be winking at you between them. His sharp wit and impeccable ability to make a pun out of anything and everything have amused me for the last few years, while his caring and understanding personality have met me in some of my darkest hours. I’ve appreciated his friendship, and am honored to blog alongside him regularly, and even more so grateful to have him post here at my own blog. His post may strike the readers as a bit different than the other posts, but this is no surprise to anyone who knows Nathan. Without further introduction, enjoy the post. Christ Abide.

Guest Post: More than Just the Facts Part 2

Last week’s blog post covered the necessity of changing education’s goals fromimparting facts about subjects to developing paradigms. Specifically, we want a paradigm bywhich students view their whole life. This week continues that theme by examining currentcurriculums, and determining what a curriculum must include to achieve this mature paradigm.

Guest Post: More than Just the Facts

The guest series continues, this time with a post from one of my roommates, Bryant Stone. If you missed the first few posts, you can find them here and here. I threw my own hat into the ring last week, which you can read here. I asked Bryant to write a post for this series because he had the privilege of studying philosophy of education with Dr. Paul Spears, who is an expert on the subject as well as one of my former professors. Bryant has always provided stimulating conversation and more of my own blog posts here have been influenced by him than he likely realizes.
